Location: estate retreat vs. lake-region base

Skytop Lodge – Location

Skytop sits on a private 5,500-acre Pocono estate with lakes, trails and an 18-hole golf course.

  • About two hours from Philadelphia or Manhattan by car; closest major airport is Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AVP).
  • On-property trails, lakes, golf and seasonal access to nearby Pocono attractions like Bushkill Falls.
  • Shuttle service around the estate is included in the daily service charge.

Skytop is a destination property where the grounds and on-site activities are the primary draw.

Tanglwood Resort – Location

Tanglwood is a timeshare-style condo property in Hawley near Lake Wallenpaupack.

  • Located at 9 Crest Drive in Hawley, within a short drive of Lake Wallenpaupack and local venues like Hopping Eagle Brewing Company.
  • Free self parking on site and easy driving access to local attractions (breweries, trails, lakeside beaches).
  • Closer to town- and lake-based day trips than Skytop, but fewer on-site lands and trails.

Tanglwood is better for travelers prioritizing proximity to Lake Wallenpaupack and Hawley-area activities rather than a sprawling resort estate.

Rooms: lodge rooms & cottages vs condo units

Skytop Lodge – Rooms

Skytop’s rooms and cottages are traditional hotel accommodations tied into the resort program.

  • 193 rooms and suites across four floors, including 48 suites; room types listed on the property include Cottage, Deluxe King and Premium King.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi and daily service charge covers many resort amenities (pool access, parking, classes, etc.).
  • Rollaway beds are available for an additional fee; pack-and-plays available on request.

Skytop’s rooms integrate with resort amenities and programming—better if you want full‑service lodging.

Tanglwood Resort – Rooms

Tanglwood offers condo-style units with kitchens and private balconies.

  • Unit types listed: Condo, 1 Bedroom and Condo, 2 Bedrooms, each with kitchens (refrigerators and ovens) and private balconies.
  • 48 air-conditioned units are noted in the supplier listing; flat-screen TVs and free Wi‑Fi included.
  • Upper floors may be accessible by stairs only in some buildings; laundry facilities are on site.

Tanglwood’s condos suit guests who want kitchen space and the flexibility of self-catering.

Dining & drinks: on-site variety vs. self-catered options

Skytop Lodge – Dining & drinks

Skytop provides several dedicated dining venues spanning casual to formal meals.

  • Windsor Dining Room (farm-to-table American) and Lakeview (Mediterranean) require reservations for dinner; The Taproom is a casual brew-pub.
  • Casual options include The Market (grab-and-go and ice cream) and Corner Roast (coffee/pastries).
  • A daily service charge does not include meals—breakfast and other meals are charged separately.

Skytop is better if you want on-property restaurant variety and service.

Tanglwood Resort – Dining & drinks

Tanglwood units include kitchens, so many guests self-cater; limited on-site formal dining is listed.

  • Rooms feature kitchens with refrigerators, ovens, microwaves and coffee/tea makers for cooking or reheating meals.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi and private balconies make light meals and takeout convenient.
  • Local dining and brewery options are a short drive away in Hawley.

Tanglwood is practical for self-catering or eating out in Hawley rather than relying on multiple on-site restaurants.

Pools & waterfront: Aquatic Center and lake access vs. seasonal outdoor pool

Skytop Lodge – Pools & waterfront

Skytop’s Aquatic Center and lake beach give families year-round and seasonal water options.

  • Indoor pool and splash pad open year-round (9:00 am–9:00 pm) for all ages with adult supervision.
  • Seasonal lake beach and inflatable Wibit available in summer (hours vary by season); hydro spa and dry sauna reserved for guests 16+.
  • Pool and lake access are restricted to resort guests and homeowners.

Skytop provides both year‑round indoor aquatic facilities and seasonal lake activities for families and adults.

Tanglwood Resort – Pools & waterfront

Tanglwood has a seasonal outdoor pool and is a short drive from Lake Wallenpaupack.

  • Outdoor seasonal pool is open June–September per property notes.
  • Lake Wallenpaupack is about a short drive away (listing notes 1.6 km / 1 mi to a lake point), making lakeside recreation accessible by car.
  • Up to two children 12 and under stay free in parent/guardian rooms using existing bedding.

Tanglwood works for summer lake visits and a simple pool option, but lacks Skytop’s year-round Aquatic Center program.

Wellness & nightlife: spa, fitness and evening options

Skytop Lodge – Wellness & nightlife

Skytop includes a full-service spa, fitness center and multiple evening venues.

  • The Nest at Skytop Lodge offers massages, facials and specialty treatments; guests must be 18+ for treatments.
  • Fitness center open daily (6:00 am–10:00 pm) with weights and machines; fitness classes included in daily service charge.
  • Evening options include The Taproom and Library Lounge for drinks; Skytop also runs evening programs and family events.

Skytop is stronger for spa treatments, structured wellness and nighttime on-site social options.

Tanglwood Resort – Wellness & nightlife

Tanglwood offers basic fitness access via a nearby free fitness center and casual recreation on site.

  • Free use of a nearby fitness center is listed in the property amenities.
  • On-site arcade/game room and evening low-key recreation (bars and late-night spa services not listed).
  • Policies and front-desk hours require advance check-in arrangements if arriving after 8:00 PM.

Tanglwood covers fitness basics and family game options but does not advertise a full spa or multiple evening venues.
